  1. Lol. What? How about this for "analysis"? "Alex Jones saying sources he has telling him 10% (30 mil) in US dead in 6 months. Even if this crazy fucker is 99% wrong, that's still 330k dead." Or hey, let's change the number to 100% dead in 6 months....
  2. I see your point, but really? You can make some offensive joke against jews but it's ok because you are (or claim to be) a jew boy? And I'm part jewish, ftr. Oh yeah, but it only mildly plays into one of the oldest stereotypes against jews, so it's ok.
  3. Wtf does that mean? "Mitigate the spread somewhat"? So it took 6 days instead of 3 to spread the virus? The end result is the same. We're gonna get infected. All it takes is one to infect others. We're not gonna stop this.
  4. You know what's good about this? Jack Welch is finally in hell. Fuck you, Jack. Fuck you hard.
  5. Just like blacks can casually toss around the n-word? Bullshit. If it's wrong, it's wrong. Stop with the identity politics bullshit. Jews and blacks don't get a free pass for being anti-semitic or racist. But that would have to acknowledge that whitey isn't the source of all evil in the world.
  6. Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but imo the stats here are bullshit. We don't know how many are affected/infected, therefore the case fatality rates are worthless. Are we having one death per 1,000; or one death per 10,000? And so fucking what if we get results back in an hour? In 30 minutes? Jesus, we're all (or most) gonna be exposed. Gotta go. Costco is awaiting my $800 purchase.
  7. Not that I think the govt will not eff things up, but I completely disagree with this mentality: what do you expect? Perfection when it comes to containing the virus? It's not gonna happen. Especially when people can be asymptomatic for week(s) before they show symptoms. What are you going to do? Quarantine everybody who we might think is infected? For how long? This is like the guy who called it negligence for not taking the temperature of every person (not a sample, not a subset, not those who are showing symptoms) coming into the US from the "pacific" (however that is defined). I mean, jesus, you can have the virus and not show a temp, so what the fuck good is taking the temp of every single person? The point seems only to be to make people feel better. It's unrealistic and going to be phenomenally expensive and more disruptive than the virus itself.
  8. There was a recent story on NPR about zinc lozenges and their ability to lessen the symptoms of the flu (really). The problem is that only zinc works, and additives such as citrus/citric acid (?) reduce the effectiveness, and that most zinc lozenges sold in stores contain the citrus additive. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/02/10/803886479/taking-zinc-can-shorten-your-cold-thank-a-91-year-old-scientist-for-the-discover
  9. The virus is (basically) everywhere. Stop worrying about stopping the spread. Start worrying about what to do if shit hits the fan.
  10. Here's how Tommy Caldwell put it. It's just his opinion, but it's interesting: Imagine an Olympic-gold-medal-level athletic achievement that, if you don't get that gold medal, you're gonna die. That's pretty much what free soloing El Cap is like.
  11. Yeah, but I stand by it. Sorry Hercules (half man, right?).
  12. If you had a movie criticism blog I would subscribe to it.
  13. To me, the obvious answer is The Simpsons. Longevity, quality, great writing. Everything else is just who gets second place.
  14. Were all going to be exposed to this. Stop the pollyanna thinking that you can protect yourself from exposure to the virus. Accept it. Embrace it. Pray to whatever god you want. My god is Stevie Ray Vaughan and he even has his own statue.
